Ratings and reviews

Best book I have ever read by far. It took me a while to read with my busy schedule, but I loved every minute of it. Beginning is slow at first, which is expected, but keep reading and you will be sucked in more and more. It paints such a great picture, it was as if I was there watching this happen. Most amazing book I've ever read and I don't think anything will ever beat it.

One of my all time favorite stories! It starts out a little slow but it's certainly a story worth the wait!

I love everything about this book. The writing style, the story, and the positive morale message that reveals itself at the ends is awesome. A must read!
